Sadly I don't have much advice to dispense yet but I still got questions.

I'm looking for the PN's for the plugs, wires and points for this engine. I hate to think I need to make a trip to JD dealer. My only experience there was not too good a few years ago. Might just been me so I won't blame them. Where is a good source of parts for this model?

Don't worry, before too long you'll be a pro and dispensing good advice like anyone else about a 420.

I assume if you have an Onan with points it is the classic B48G. The B series had points, the next step was the P series which was electronic ignition.

A tune up kit is $39, points, condenser, and spark plugs. The plug wires are special Onan designs. I think I have the materials to make a set, unless I used all the Onan style ends, otherwise we can order a set from Onan.

Member superaben at Old Paths Equipment should be able to help you out, if we can find him:

Last we seen of him, he was running around like his a$$ was on fire and his hair was catchin'.

His hair has stopped smoldering, but the burnt smell still clings on. Folks say it will take some time to dissipate. It was a bummer, though, since I burned the rear end out of my best pair of sunday-go-to-meeting pants.

You gotta quit stretchin' the truth like that. We all know you have no hair left, it's mowing season......
